It's nothing short of a tragedy really. That they won't change the ending? I agree. Nope - you're quoting me out of of context. It's a tragedy that the arguments over the endings have gone on for so many years. I don't blame Bioware for not buckling under to the pressure and changing them.

I mean, I wasn't particularly overjoyed by aspects of the ending... but then again I wasn't soul-crushingly disappointed either. Honestly, I was on the side of more favorable than unfavorable. I've played games I spent hours on only to feel a surprised "wait, is this it?" at the end. Some endings left me completely unbothered to the point where I can barely remember them. I wouldn't mind seeing them take another stab at the Milky Way (although I was never against Andromeda and liked the idea), but I really do hope they don't railroad us unless at the very least there can be some decently credible lore-reason for doing so. Saying "yeah, your ending just wasn't the true one" is such a cop out, and it would leave a bad taste in my mouth even if my ending turned out to be the canon one. I;m speculating that they'll just be so vague about what happened that any of the EC endings will remain possible. I could be wrong. What I'm basing my guess on is how they changed the introduction to ME2 to be universally applicable no matter what the player did in ME1... "Shepard uncovered the truth." (and they don't specify what the truth was. All of the references Miranda used to make about saving or killing the council are gone in the Legendary Edition... and there is McKay's declaration that the Legendary Edition is the definitive one as far as the Trilogy goes.
Again... it's just my personal opinion/guess and that's all I'm basing it on. I could be wrong. Also, for clarity, where the Legendary Edition did not meet my expectations has nothing to do with the story. I wasn't expected any changes to be made there. Where it has not met my expectation is in the area of squashing some of the old bugs and in how some pretty significant new ones were introducted at the same time. I just didn't expect to have so many problems playing a remaster of game that has been out for 9 or more years already.

Can't help but wonder at the percentages of those who finished MELE's ME3 compared to how many finished the original ME3... That's completely typical. It doesn't matter if they finished the game, it's the fact that they bought it, knowing full well what it entails. So if they bought it, they endorse it. Besides, you can't expect them to finish 3 full games. It's going to take some time. Months even. Not to mention replayability. This will last them till the DA4 release. Playing 3 Bioware games, over and over again.

While important the ending is seriously just one part ME 3. It doesen't really do much to tarnish ME 3, doesen't do much to tarnish ME 1 and ME 2, and certainly doesen't do anything to tarnish Andromeda. These games are still hella great and still having a blast with them despite the .01% of its game content that genuinely sucks.

You say that which some fairly obvious sarcasm but I have ran into a few examples that I think would fit that statement. And given the fairly strong stance against openly talking about politics in all the gaming places I frequent. It is a mild curiosity if political views could influence people's opinions of the games.

Still think the endings are a radioactive dumpster fire. Painting a smiley face on them didn't make them magically good. Or even adequate.

ah yes, the endings. Shoot this, pull that and jump in here.
I like the red. I like seeing the reapers fall over dead. I don't like the lead up to make that happen.
The green crap is exactly that, crap. It works in things favor not organics favor. The blue is crap as well. Shepard becomes thing part 2. It doesn't have any shackles like thing part 1 didn't have. What's to stop it from continuing what thing part 1 was doing?
One of the biggest issues is the one controlling the reapers is the one telling Shepard what choice he/she can make instead of getting that information from the ones who built the giant microphone. Then again they were building something, something that would do something, something.
When thing shows up, I turn on themikefest mod. It's a simple mod. I laugh the whole time thing speaks.
I would prefer Hackett's ending. It's something I've mentioned for years. It's simple.
No matter what, it's a story being told to a kid. So it's likely the guy told things that were very far from what really happened. He's changed the story once already. He will likely do it again. Instead of fighting the reapers, it could be Shepard is really a farmer having to deal with the local government to keep his/her land.

You act like there is much to talk about. The LE is just the original release with graphical and performance upgrades. Everything that has been said about them for the last 8 years has been said. The only new thing are new players coming into repeat what has already been said 8 years ago simply because they are new.
